At the moment I am writing to a file:

        with open("/tmp/afm/etc/httpd/conf.d/vhosts.inc/%s.conf" % site, "a") as cfile:
            cfile.write("".join(new_config))

and whenever finds the first chunck in total_configs.txt writes to it, and
doesn't carry on searching for other chunks that contain "site", foo.com, so it
won't find the site in port 80.

It just writes this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAlias  www.foo.com
        ServerAdmin  hostmaster at foo.com
        ErrorLog     /websites/katz/logs/1cfl.com/error_ssl_log
        ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/ /websites/katz/cgi-bin/1cfl.com/
</VirtualHost>

what I want to write is both:

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerAlias  www.foo.com
        ServerAdmin  hostmaster at foo.com
        ErrorLog     /websites/katz/logs/1cfl.com/error_ssl_log
        ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/ /websites/katz/cgi-bin/1cfl.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAlias  www.foo.com
        ServerAdmin  hostmaster at foo.com
        ErrorLog     /websites/katz/logs/1cfl.com/error_ssl_log
        ScriptAlias  /cgi-bin/ /websites/katz/cgi-bin/1cfl.com/
</VirtualHost>
